Description

Thermo Scientific Absolute SYBR

Green Low ROX qPCR

Mix has been developed to quantify DNA and cDNA. With the

exception of primers and template, this 2X mix contains all the

components required to perform a rapid, sensitive and

reproducible qPCR reaction:

• Thermo Scientific Thermo-Start DNA Polymerase, a

chemically modified hot-start version of Thermo Scientific

ThermoPrime DNA Polymerase, which prevents non-

specific amplification during the reaction set-up. Thermo-

Start has 5' to 3' polymerization and exonuclease activity

but lacks 3' to 5' exonuclease activity (proofreading). This

enzyme requires an activation step at 95°C for 15

minutes.

• Proprietary reaction buffer which provides highly sensitive,

specific and consistent fluorescence readings for real-time

and end-point analysis. This buffer has been optimized for

MgCl

and enhancers to improve amplification across a

wide range of templates including plant DNA and GC rich

fragments.

• dNTP’s, including dTTP to improve reaction sensitivity and

efficiency compared to dUTP.

Rev.10

• SYBR Green I, a dye which fluoresces after binding of the

double-stranded DNA. The overall fluorescence increases

proportionally to the double-stranded DNA concentration.

• ROX, passive reference dye for normalization of data.

Cycler Compatibilit

ABsolute™ SYBR Green Low ROX qPCR Mix is compatible

for use with any qPCR cyclers requiring low ROX dye levels,

including ABI PRISM

7500 (including Fast-Block) and

Stratagene Mx4000

, Mx3000P

, Mx3005P™.

ROX Dye

ROX is an internal passive reference dye used to normalize

the fluorescent reporter signal generated in qPCR. The

concentration of ROX in the final 1X reaction is 25 nM.

MgCl

The initial concentration of MgCl

in the ABsolute SYBR

Green Low qPCR ROX Mix corresponds to 3 mM in the final

1X reaction. This concentration is effective over a broad

range of templates. Some assays may be improved further

with MgCl

optimization. A separate vial of 1 M MgCl

therefore supplied with each kit.

MgCl

concentration can be increased as follows: each 2.5 µl

or 10 µl addition of MgCl

to the 1.25 ml or 5 ml undiluted

ABsolute SYBR Green Low qPCR ROX Mix respectively

corresponds to an increase of 1 mM in the final 1X reaction.

Scale up or down accordingly. Mix thoroughly by inverting the

vial ten to twenty times. Do not vortex.

Storage Conditions

Store at -20 °C until ready for use. ABsolute SYBR Green

Low qPCR ROX Mix is stable for a minimum of 12 months.

The reagents can be stored at 4 °C for up to 1 month. Avoid

repeated freeze thawing. The ROX and SYBR Green dyes

are light sensitive; exposure should be minimized.

Additional Info

The use of disposable gloves, DNase and RNase free filter

tips and plastics is recommended.

For optimal results, the recommended amplicon length is in

the range of 60 to 300 bp.

As best performance is achieved with dTTP, the ABsolute

SYBR Green Low ROX qPCR Mix contains a nucleotide mix

with dTTP instead of dUTP.

Protocol

Thaw the reagents on ice, mix the solutions and spin down

before use to recover the maximum amount. Do not vortex the

ABsolute qPCR SYBR Green Low ROX qPCR Mix. Briefly

centrifuge to avoid bubbles within the wells, as these will

interfere with the fluorescence. Always include a no template

control (NTC).

Example of Reaction Mix preparation for a 25 µL final

reaction:

Total volume

25 µL

*For optimization, a primer titration should be performed from 50 nM to 300 nM

final concentration. Scale up or down the volume and concentration as

appropriate.

**The volume of template to add to the qPCR reaction can be adjusted as

required. For standard templates only 1 µL should be added to reduce the

carryover of any PCR inhibitor. This volume can be increased up to 5 µL for low

copy number templates.

Example of qPCR thermal cycling program:

Temp. Time Number of

cycles

Enzyme activation 95 °C 15 min 1 cycle

Denaturation 95 °C 15 s

40 cycles Anealing* 50-60 °C 30 s

Extension** 72 °C 30 s

*Annealing temperature dependent on primer sequence.

**Time of extension depends on the length of the amplicon. If the amplicon

exceeds 300 bp amplification time should be adapted (Thermo-Start DNA

Polymerase extends approximately at 1000 bp/min).

It is recommended to perform a melt curve to confirm the

specificity of the reaction. Example of a melt curve program*:

Denaturation 95 °C 30 s 1 cycle

Starting temp. 60 °C 30 s 1 cycle

Melting step** 60 °C 10 s 80 cycles

*Melt curve program may vary depending on instrument manufacturer and

software.

**Increase set point temperature by 0.5 °C per cycle.

CERTIFICATE OF ANALYSIS

ABsolute SYBR Green Low ROX qPCR Mix is tested

functionally using qPCR. The product must demonstrate

linearity of amplification over a specified serial dilution of

human genomic DNA.
